S7E2 – The Queens’ Court – Power, Purpose, and Provision: Community Resilience

In this second installment of The Queen’s Court, we explore how hardships are being met with heart-centered leadership and collective action. With the current SNAP crisis and government shutdown driving families into food insecurity, we dive into how everyday people are organizing to provide power, purpose, and provision in their communities.
You’ll hear how federal shutdowns are forcing workers and children to choose between meals and bills, and how women-led networks are stepping in with food gardens, skill-sharing, resource guides and mutual-aid systems to bridge the gap.

What You’ll Get From This Episode:

• Clear insights into how the SNAP crisis is unfolding, and the ripple effects on families, schools and communities.

• Real-world examples of community-led solutions: neighborhood food gardens, skill-share networks, support groups and tech tools to serve vulnerable neighbors.
